Scattering seeds The kingdom of God is like someone scattering seeds on the ground... Mark 4:26 Have you ever noticed that when Jesus uses seed imagery it is always associated with the kingdom? Big things grow out of small... Plants grow and we do not understand how... One small seed can produce a hundredfold more... I'm struck by this imagery and wonder how it might apply to us here in Grand County. What might it look like for us to scatter seeds? And what kinds of seeds are we supposed to scatter? Words…Actions…our lives? All of the above, I believe, as we are called and moved by the Holy Spirit. Actions may speak louder than words, but words are also necessary. And our lives may speak the loudest of all. Looking forward to scattering (and continuing to scatter) the seeds of the Kingdom will you all! Blessings,
Matthew+ Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP p.230) |
